CP violation, searches for new physics
what we tell the funding agencies, and the press
But, much of the physics performed by flavour experiments
is the study of properties of hadronic states
–
–
lifetimes, masses, decay channels, quantum numbers
and the discoveries of new ones

Clean observables in B→Kπ (etc.)

Measure more Bu,d→Kπ decays & relate by isospin
●
Perform similar analysis on B→K*π &/or B→Kρ

Measure Bs→KK decays & relate by U-spin

Dalitz plot analyses of Kππ final states extract both
amplitudes and relative phases → more observables

Note: flavour symmetries very useful
But, still get theory error from symmetry breaking (difficult to evaluate)

Evidence for CP violation in D → h h decays
LHCb PRL 108 (2012) 111602
Measurement of CP asymmetry at pp collider requires knowledge of production and
detection asymmetries; e.g. for D0→f, where D meson flavour is tagged by D*+→D0π+ decay
final state detection asymmetry
vanishes for CP eigenstate
Cancel asymmetries by taking difference of raw asymmetries in two different final states
(Since AD and AP depend on kinematics, must bin or reweight to ensure cancellation)

Evidence for CP violation in D → h h decays

Naive SM expectation is for decays to be tree-dominated

Penguin contributions are possible for singly-Cabibbosuppressed decays but CKM suppression is severe

Summary
●
●
●
We still don't know:
–
why there are so many fermions in the SM
–
what causes the baryon asymmetry of the Universe
–
where exactly the new physics is …
–
… and what it's flavour structure is
Prospects are good for progress in the next few years
We need a continuing programme of flavour physics
into the 2020s
–
complementary to the high-pT programme of the LHC
